Cimatron to Exhibit Advanced Machining Techniques and Newly Released CAD/CAM Capabilities at EASTEC

Cimatron's Integrative CAD/CAM Solutions Help Tool makers and Manufacturers Reduce Delivery Times

GIVAT SHMUEL, Israel, May 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Cimatron's (NASDAQ: CIMT) suite of integrated CAD/CAM solutions will be on display at the upcoming EASTEC tradeshow (May 20 - 22, 2008, West Springfield, MA).

Cimatron's CAD/CAM solutions are proven to help tool makers deliver higher quality tools at lower costs and shorter cycle times-addressing the entire process from quoting through design, engineering changes, NC, and EDM programming to delivery. Visitors to the show will be able to see Cimatron's advanced machining techniques, as well as recently released CAD/CAM enhancements.

Advanced Machining

Cimatron facilitates the machining of any part - from simple 2.5 axis milling and drilling to complex 5-axis machining - including micro and aerospace milling. The rich CAD functionality built into the NC environment provides a highly productive work environment that produces superior surface quality. The integrated end-to-end solution eliminates the need for error-prone and time consuming data translations and enables quick response to engineering changes.

These machining solutions and more will be demonstrated at Cimatron's booth #5740 at EASTEC 2008.

"In today's highly competitive market, tool makers and manufacturers can no longer afford to use outdated technology. We are excited to share with EASTEC attendees technologies that can help them improve quality and shorten delivery times," said Bill Gibbs, CEO and President, Cimatron Technologies, Inc.

Also on display at the show will be new capabilities recently released in CimatronE version 8.5. These include modified NC reports, enhancements to the Automated Drill application, spiral cut milling and 3-5 Axis transformations in 5-Axis Production, expanded concurrent engineering capabilities, integrated CADENAS catalogs and "blank on binder" (for die makers).

Streamlined Numerical Control

Modified NC Setup Reports: Automatically-generated NC reports facilitate the information flow between NC programmers and the shop floor, providing machine operators with detailed information that includes the tool paths, procedures, tools, and parameters for each job. Images and user-specific information can be added to the reports, which can be presented either online or in print.

Automated Drill: New operations added to the Automated Drill application include profiling of holes and threading cycles, as well as pocketing for pre-drill preparation of difficult to drill areas such as slanted surfaces. These operations can be integrated into the automated drill sequence and reused from libraries to increase efficiency and accuracy.

5-Axis Production: CimatronE version 8.5 features new enhancements to the 5-Axis Production application, including spiral cut milling, 3-5 Axis transformations, and advances in impeller roughing.

Concurrent Engineering

Cimatron's concurrent engineering capabilities improve productivity and collaboration and significantly compress product delivery times.

Concurrent design capabilities are built into Cimatron's CAD applications, enabling multiple users to simultaneously work on the same assembly and shorten the design cycle. Starting with the new release of CimatronE version 8.5, these concurrent design capabilities are available throughout the entire CAD product line.

Cimatron's support for concurrent engineering extends beyond the design phase. The integrated end-to-end design-to-manufacturing solution uses a single database that provides complete associatively and enables multiple steps of the design and manufacturing process to be performed in parallel.

Integrated CADENAS Catalogs

CADENAS PARTsolutions is now integrated into CimatronE 8.5, enabling tool makers to shorten design cycles by incorporating ready-made CADENAS catalog parts into Cimatron tool assemblies.

While the catalog functionality has long been available in Cimatron's software, the CADENAS catalogs place thousands of new standard components at the disposal of Cimatron users, eliminating many of the manual and time-consuming steps in the tool design process.

"Blank on Binder" for Die Makers

Creating intermediate binder blanking surfaces and unfolding the part on these faces is one of the most challenging tasks in the die design process. In most cases, accurate results can only be achieved after a laborious and expensive trial and error process.

Based on a finite element analysis, CimatronE's "Blank on Binder" enables the user to perform this task and unfold freeform shapes onto a 3D geometry with unprecedented speed and accuracy.
